Proposal Under Review in the Chamber of Deputies May Alter Condo Rules Nationwide by Preventing Fines for Noise When the Noise Is Related to the Resident’s Disability, Especially Affecting Families with Autistic Individuals and People with Disabilities.

Residential condominiums may be prohibited from imposing fines for “disturbance of peace” when the noise is directly related to the disability of the resident.

This is provided for in the PL 5576/2023, which is being processed conclusively in the Chamber of Deputies and is currently awaiting a report from the rapporteur in the Committee on Constitution, Justice and Citizenship (CCJC).

On August 6, 2025, Deputy Nurse Ana Paula (Pode-CE) was appointed to conduct the report, with no final deliberation recorded so far.

What Changes for ASD and Other People with Disabilities

The proposal began with a focus on autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but was expanded to encompass people with disabilities in general.

The text under discussion prevents fines for noise only when there is a causal link between the behavior and the disability, preserving the other rules of condominium coexistence.

The version approved in the Committee on the Defense of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CPD) also included a provision that condominiums must ensure treatment compatible with the resident’s condition and seek a balance between the right to housing and harmonious coexistence.

How the Process Has Advanced So Far

The legislative path of PL 5576/2023 began in the Committee on Urban Development (CDU).

On November 27, 2024, the CDU approved a substitute bill from rapporteur Cleber Verde (MDB-MA) to clarify, within the context of the Civil Code, that the fine for “antisocial behavior” does not apply when the case involves a person with ASD.

Subsequently, the matter was sent to the CPD.

On May 20, 2025, the CPD approved a new substitute bill authored by Deputy Duarte Jr. (PSB-MA), expanding the protection to all persons with disabilities, provided that the noise results directly from the clinical condition.

Next, the project moved to the CCJC, where it is currently under review.

Practical Effect: Conditional Protection, Not General Exemption

This is not an authorization for any noise.

According to the text, the fine exemption applies only when the noises are an expression of the disability, as occurs in cases involving sensitivity issues, atypical behaviors, restlessness, or impulsivity.

Situations outside of this scope remain subject to internal norms and existing legislation.

The CPD clarified that the cited examples serve to illustrate the scope of the rule, without forming a closed list of diagnoses.

Statute of Persons with Disabilities Takes on a Central Role

Another significant change proposed by the substitute bill was to shift the normative axis to the Statute of Persons with Disabilities (Law 13.146/2015).

The inclusion of objective duties for condominium managers, administrators, and assemblies creates a benchmark for interpretation in disputes, seeking coexistence solutions before punitive measures.

In practice, the guideline directs condominium mediation when the sound manifestation is inseparable from the resident’s disability.

What Still Needs to Happen for It to Become Law

As it is subject to conclusive assessment in committees, the project needs to be approved by the CCJC to conclude its passage through the Chamber—unless there is an appeal to the Plenary.

Once this stage is passed, the proposal goes to the Federal Senate and, if approved without changes, to the presidential sanction.

As of the last official update, only the appointment of a rapporteur in the CCJC was recorded, with the status “awaiting opinion.”

There is no record of a committee vote.

Summary Timeline

In December 2024, the CDU approved a text that already restricted the imposition of fines for “antisocial behavior” in cases of ASD.

Subsequently, in May 2025, the CPD confirmed the protection line and expanded the scope to all persons with disabilities, conditioning the exemption to a direct link between the noise and the disability.

In August 2025, the CCJC appointed the rapporteur and opened the regimental period for amendments, which closed without presentations.

Since then, the processing page indicates that the opinion has not yet been delivered.

Guidance for Managers and Residents While the Project is Underway

Until there is a legal change, the internal rules of condominiums and the Civil Code apply, interpreted in light of disability protection legislation.

In disputes involving noises associated with a condition recognized as a disability, it is recommended to document the circumstances, seek mediation, and observe the guideline of compatible treatment that the substitute proposal seeks to incorporate into the Statute.

The stated objective of the rapporteurs was to prevent automatic penalties and encourage coexistence solutions, without removing the condominium’s ability to act when there is no direct relationship between noise and disability.

Impact on Families with ASD and Persons with Disabilities

If approved as is, the PL 5576/2023 is likely to reduce conflicts with families of autistic individuals and those with other disabilities by delineating the non-application of fines in cases where the noise is a manifestation of the condition.

Managers and assemblies will have a clearer legal framework, with guidelines to distinguish what is an expression of disability from what constitutes excess unrelated to this reality.

This normative distinction, according to the justification of the opinions, aims to balance the right to housing with harmonious coexistence.

How would your convention address a case in which the family presents evidence indicating that the sound manifestation is directly linked to the resident’s disability?

Pelo oque entendi, o som é permitido se for o deficiente ou autista que esteja o fazendo.
Porém discordo do msm jeito, imagina vc ser obrigado a ouvir um som (barulho) repetitivo o dia inteiro e nem poder reclamar, é de deixar qualquer um louco.
Portanto se isso for aprovado, quando vc vê uma apartamento ou casa em condomínio com valor muito bom, pode ter certezas que é por este motivo, vc não terá paz dentro da sua casa.

Scientists enter a narrow, flooded cave 500 meters deep and find giant dinosaur footprints on the ceiling measuring up to 1.25 meters, preserved in such a rare way that a new type of trace had to be created.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

For the first time, scientists have mapped the Etna magma system in almost real time and discovered where the volcano was storing large volumes of molten material before years of eruptions, revealing an underground reservoir that fills and reorganizes like a living organism beneath the mountain.

Cell phones in schools: learn how a year after the ban, students and teachers are already noticing positive effects and recording improvements in academic performance with increased attention and active participation.

Wrinkled fingers in water are not a silly effect of bathing: the body creates a natural traction system to improve grip on wet surfaces and reduce slips, but few people know this.
